Barclays announces plans to shut a further 10 bank branches this year in another blow for the UK high street - is your local affected?
Nine more branches will pull down the shutters in England, with its site in St Andrews, Scotland, also set for the chop.Most of the latest raft of closures will shut September, with some closing in August.
The news comes the day after Lloyds Banking Group, the owner of Bank of Scotland, Halifax and Lloyds Bank, announced that it will close 53 branches.A Barclays spokesperson said: “As visits to branches continue to fall, we need to adapt to provide the best service for all our customers. "Where there is no longer enough demand to support a branch, we maintain an in-person presence though our Barclays Local network, live in over 200 locations, based in libraries, town halls, mobile vans and our new banking pods."Those who prefer in-person banking can use one of the Post Office’s almost 12,000 branches to carry out basic banking tasks but won't be able to open new accounts, or take mortgages and personal loans.
